THINGS TO KNOW
The hot tub is a 120V Plug N Play hot tub. If the water is changed between guests, it will take at least 24 hours to reach temperature. Your patience is appreciated as we offer this new and delightful amenity.
For an extraordinary, rural work-from-home experience in this exquisite natural setting, please bring your own personal hot spot as we have not been able to secure a reliable WiFi provider due to the rural nature of this home
The property caretaker lives about 100 yards away on the same multi-acre lot. The caretaker respects guests' privacy and will only come around if assistance is requested.
Duck hunting does occur on the lagoon from mid-October through January. There is no direct access to the lagoon from the property. A boat/kayak launch site is just a short drive around the corner.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Amazing!
The Lagoon House is great. There was plenty of room for 10 of us. The beds were comfortable and what an awesome view to wake up to! Kitchen is stocked well and spacious. Washer/dryer worked well. Local grocery store has enough to get by. And the best part is it is a short drive to Redwoods Park where you can see otherwordly scenery! The perfect base camp for family adventures into the park. And plenty to do at the house if you find yourself staying there. Would love to stay here again.

Perfect home base for Redwood trip
The listing undersells this property! It feels larger and nicer in person. Views are amazing - not just the lagoon, ocean view too! The kids loved the cat that visited daily, the frogs in the pond, the mass of ripe blackberry bushes, and the banana slugs covering them in the mornings. Orick is a great central location for access to Prairie Creek State Park which has a ton of nice hikes for little kids, fern canyon, and also some National Park locations. It’s also a great spot for quick access to the nearby beach, or to head south to more epic beach landscapes or for dining options. We saw elk there everyday! The kitchen was nice to cook in, and the big primary bedroom worked great for a couple with very young kids to all be together. The ping pong and air hockey in the garage were also a big hit. We’d love to stay here again, highly recommend!

Great location, great view, great vacation!
We were looking for something casual and comfortable with lots of space and a great location -and this was perfect. The property was clean, the view of the ocean is beautiful, and it is located within driving distance to go easily both north and south to park destinations. House was fully equipped and was well set up for children and extended family. Several eating spaces including large deck. Laundry was so nice to have available after a day of hiking or tide pooling. We really enjoyed our stay!

So much like visiting someone's home, clean, well stocked, it was much nicer than we were expecting. Didn't need to go very far for awesome hiking and relaxing. Property manager was great about issues or questions. I can't wait to return. Just what was needed for a mental reset from city life. Loved it.

Coastal getaway
My husband and I decided to take a roadtrip down the Pacific Coast (WA to CA). We rented this property because it was close to the redwoods and the ocean. The yard could have been a little better maintained and there were some cobwebs but the place was clean overall. We were able to enjoy the local activities and really relax. Wish we could have stayed a few more days... the beach you see on the photos was almost like having your own private beach. Would definitely stay again.

This large, homey listing is in a beautiful private setting with a million dollar view. We made good use of the kitchen during our stay with 8 people! Getting to the Parks to take hikes and view elk and giant redwoods only took a matter of a few minutes.

Amazing view through dirty windows
The view is amazing. However, the property manager needs to make sure the cleaning crew cleans. There were countless spiders/webs inside throughout the home. The interior & exterior of all windows, especially those that face the lagoon & ocean, were extremely dirty and had a lot of dead bugs and old spider webs on them.

We LOVED this property. It was larger than we needed, so bigger groups will certainly enjoy their time here, too. There's no direct access to the lagoon, which would have been nice but the property itself is beautiful. We left wishing only that we had had more time here.

Our stay in Orick
The house met our needs, and the notebook of things to do and suggested restaurants was helpful. However, there were no written instructions on how to use the amenities in the house. For example, no instructions on how to connect to any stations on the tv, there was no Wi-Fi, but there was no listing of any places we could go to get free access to the internet. We were very disappointed that we were not able to get the fireplace to work, we tried many things, but there were no directions on how to work it.

Freshwater Lagoon Home
The view from the home was amazing. The house was very big and held all 8 of us comfortably. We had a great time at the house even though there were a few small things that could have made it a little better. The first thing is when we showed up at 4:00 the place was not ready. I spoke with the housekeeper and she said we needed to wait about another 20 minutes. Once we got in we noticed right away that the two bathrooms only had 1 roll of toilet paper in them, For 8 people and a 6 day vacation, we’ll you do the math. (-: There we’re also only 2 paper towel rolls in the home. Disposable trash bags were needed as well as there were only a couple of those there as well. All of these things are small in the scope of things but they are necessities nonetheless. Luckily there was a store in Orick where we ran to stock up. Although not the property owners fault, the power outages were a bummer. Once for breakfast and once for dinner we had to go out to eat unexpectedly since the entire house is powered by PG&E. Overall though we loved the place and we had an amazing trip. Once a year we all get together for our family vacation and nothing was going to stop us from having a great time together.
